Hi I’m Abbey,

Whether you’re feeling stuck in a problem story or seeking a supportive conversation, I’m here to help you rewrite your narrative and guide you on your healing journey.

My background & approach

I am a compassionate and dedicated narrative therapist who strives to create a safe, welcoming environment where clients can explore and reshape their stories. I am deeply committed to supporting others and fostering a space where individuals feel comfortable sharing their experiences and working toward healing. I believe in the power of storytelling to uncover strength, resilience, and new perspectives. I work collaboratively with clients to navigate challenges such as anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles, helping them grow, heal, and move forward with confidence and peace.

I also integrate ocean therapy and nature into my practice, offering a unique and restorative approach to healing. By incorporating my love for the ocean and the natural world, I help adults, teens, and children connect with the therapeutic power of nature. The calming and grounding qualities of the environment provide a meaningful backdrop for exploring life’s challenges, allowing clients to reframe their experiences and create alternative stories rooted in hope, resilience, and growth. This blend of narrative therapy and nature-based healing helps individuals gain fresh perspective and find greater balance in their lives.

Outside of the therapy room, I am an ocean lifeguard and internationally competitive athlete in surf lifesaving and surf-skiing. My connection to the ocean and sport deeply influences my work as a therapist. I believe in the ocean’s ability to heal, inspire, and remind us of our own resilience. Through both my personal and professional experiences, I draw on the calming and powerful qualities of the sea to help clients reconnect with their strengths, navigate challenges, and move toward meaningful growth and healing.
